Using repetition and mirroring of shapes creates a sense of harmony and that's why you see it at every mosque and grand building like (pictured above) Qasr Al Watan, a functioning presidential palace. #Qasralwatan #Abudhabi #inAbudhabi #Travelblogger #UAE #ImperfectTraveller

Siem Reap was a whole bunch of beautiful 🇰🇭 If yo Siem Reap was a whole bunch of beautiful 🇰🇭 If you ever find yourself in this small, historic town, take a few days to slow down, meet some locals and learn their language and stories instead of hurrying off to your next destination. I could rant on about the art of slow travel and everything I got up to in Siem Reap - and in fact I did, on my blog - link in bio! Big shout-out to @villagelifewithpeng for the incredible local experience, stories and delicious Khmer meal, which was the highlight of my time in Cambodia and the lovely @lau02es for not gatekeeping this Siem Reap gem♥️ #SiemReap #TraveltoSiemReap #Cambodia #SoloTraveller #Solofemaletravel #Solotravel #siemreapcambodia #slowtravel #imperfecttraveller

Ta Prohm, a masterpiece where nature and architect Ta Prohm, a masterpiece where nature and architecture are locked in a timeless embrace, was undoubtedly one of my favourite temples in the Angkor Complex. The complete silence, except for bird song, the gentle lull of the trees guiding me around its little wonderland and the hum of ancient structures supported by steel poles left me in awe at its beauty and charm. Fun fact: this is more famously known as the Tomb Raider temple! #AngkorComplex #TaProhm #SiemReap #Cambodia #CambodiaTravel #Historictemples #architecture #nature
